Description

Footage of cycling, camping and walking trips taken by the Lloyd family in Cheshire and the Lake District. Young Caroline plays in a garden before the family leave their house in Hollins Green on fully-laden bicycles. They take tea at a cafe in Over Peover and then reach a stream where a water vole is spotted. Thereafter several camping scenes, including the family eating a meal of egg and beans, are interspersed with shots of family walking expeditions, one of which is near the Langdale Pikes. Also features Caroline meeting some farm animals.
